18 Mr. David Sliarp on the 



paler ; the 1st and 2nd joints have each on their inner side 

 two distinct outstanding black setie ; the 3rd joint is less 

 than twice as long as the 2nd ; from the 4tli to the 10th 

 each joint is just a little stouter, but distinctly shorter than 

 its predecessor ; the 10th about as long as broad. In other 

 respects this insect appears greatly to resemble jmhescens, 

 but the legs appear a little shorter, and the hinder angles 

 of the thorax a little more produced behind than in 

 puhescens. 



Among dead leaves ; rare. 



36. Cu7iurus pumilus, n. sp. Gracilis, nigro-fuscus, 

 opacus, antennis pedibusque testaceis, elytris thorace evi- 

 denter longioribiis, macula basali pallida ; antennis apicem 

 versus vix incrassatis, articulis omnibus latitudine longi- 

 oribus. Long. 1^ lin. 



Allied to C. litoreus, in form and colour and sculpture, 

 but only one-third the size. The antenna? are pale yellow, 

 slender and elongate ; the basal joints with some distinct 

 black seta3 ; the 10th joint distinctly longer than broad. 

 The thorax is about as long as it is broad at the base, 

 blackish ; the elytra are coloured as in litoreus, and their 

 scidpture, as well as that of the thorax, is also similar to 

 litoreus. 



Among dead leaves ; rare. 



37. Conurus pedicularius, Grav. ? Besides the above 

 Conuri, there is also a specimen in bad condition, which 

 I am unable to distinguish from the pale form of C. pedi- 

 cularius. I think it quite likely, however, that a series 

 of specimens would show it to be a distinct species. 



38. Megacronus setiger, n. sp. Elongatus, niger, niti- 

 dus, antennarum basi apiceque, pedibus, elytrorumque 

 macula magna humerali testaceis ; elytris seriebus septem 

 punctis setigeris ; abdomine crebre fortiter punctato, fortiter 

 setigero. Long. 3 — 3^ lin. 



Similar in form to M, ancdis, but narrower. Antennre 

 rather long, thickened toAvards the extremity, two basal 

 joints yellow, the rest pitchy, but the terminal one (or two) 

 again paler ; joints 3 — 5 longer than broad, 7 and 8 about 

 as long as broad, 9 and 10 transverse, 11th joint not so 

 long as the two preceding together (in the $ ), or consider- 

 ably shorter ( $ ). Palpi yellow. Head and thorax similar
